Pros
- Excellent greenside spin and control
- Softer feel suitable for moderate swing speeds
- Enhanced aerodynamics for better flight performance
- Good distance off the tee
Cons
- May not provide enough control for golfers with very high swing speeds
- Slightly higher compression might not appeal to players preferring ultra-soft balls
About the Srixon Q-Star Tour golf ball
The Srixon Q-Star Tour is designed to offer the performance benefits of a tour-level ball while accommodating the needs of players with moderate swing speeds.
Its three-piece construction includes a FastLayer Core, a softer mid-layer, and a thin, premium urethane cover.
Technology and Features
The Q-Star Tour features several key technologies:
- FastLayer Core: Gradually transitions from a softer inner core to a firmer outer edge, providing a balanced combination of distance and a soft feel.
- Spin Skin with SeRM: A urethane coating with flexible molecular bonds that dig deep into wedge and iron grooves, increasing friction and maximizing spin for more control.
- 338 Speed Dimple Pattern: Reduces drag and increases lift for more aerodynamic flight, contributing to longer and more stable shots.
Performance
On the course, we found the Q-Star Tour delivers impressive performance. It provides a penetrating ball flight with a soft landing, making it easier to hold greens.
Off the tee, it offers consistent distance and a strong trajectory, while approach shots benefit from the added spin and control provided by the Spin Skin coating.
Around the greens, the ball’s softer feel enhances touch and precision, making it a reliable choice for short game and putting.
Looks, Sound, and Feel
The Q-Star Tour is available in a clean, classic white design. It offers a softer sound off the clubface, which we found pleasing.
The feel is soft but responsive, giving players the feedback they need to fine-tune their shots.
